Hearing Aid Check and Adjust

Having trouble with your hearing aids? Or just wanting a routine check?

Your hearing varies over time, and often hearing aids will need adjustments to compensate for these changes. Much like a car, hearing aids do require frequent servicing and maintenance to perform efficiently.

The Buddy Pack Advantage: Comprehensive Care, Exceptional Value

At Hearing Buddy, we're committed to your long-term hearing success. That's why every hearing aid purchased from us, regardless of the technology level, comes with our exclusive Buddy Pack Premium Aftercare Package offering you:

  • Routine Checkups and Adjustments: We'll keep your hearing aids performing at their best throughout your warranty period.
  • Peace of Mind: Our commitment to you goes beyond the initial fitting. We're here for any adjustments, troubleshooting, or questions you may have.
  • Recall Service: We'll proactively remind you when it's time for your next check-up, ensuring your hearing aids are always working optimally.

That is not the only reason it may be beneficial to maintain frequent appointments with a hearing specialist once you have received your hearing aids. There are a variety of reasons why you may need to have your hearing equipment examined and adjusted.

See below some of the problems people encounter with hearing aids and possible solutions.

  • Hearing not as well as before: This is the most common problem and can be caused by a variety of factors including a change in hearing, incorrect insertion, blocked ear canals due to wax, or a problem with the hearing aid or mould itself.
  • Wax/Dust Build-up: Another typical cause of hearing aids not functioning properly is when wax and debris clogs the sound outlet or ventilation opening, resulting in weak, distorted, or no sound.
  • Hearing Feedback: Whistling – like sounds in your ear
  • Hearing aid whistles can be caused by ear wax obstructing the ears, sound hitting the wax and rebounding back, or the volume on the hearing aids is turned up too high that the existing domes or moulds can’t support.

  • Comfort Issues: Our ear canals can change shape over time, and your present moulds or domes may cause discomfort or prove to be an inadequate fit.
  • To Meet Specific New Goals: Living well and overcoming some communication obstacles with hearing aids has made you more open to new experiences. You may have a new goal, such as socializing or joining a new group, and now there is a need for a specific programme to support you in such settings.

  • Annual Hearing Checks: It is normal to experience fluctuations in hearing, and at some point, your hearing aids will need to be reprogrammed. We recommend and recall for an annual hearing check to account for any changes.­­ In addition, acclimatisation is a gradual process that takes place over time and there is no set timeframe. It’s possible that your hearing aids were set slightly below the target for your comfort at first, but now that your brain has accustomed to sounds, you may be ready for an increase in gain level.
  • Clean and Check: Along with monitoring your hearing for changes, it’s important to occasionally get a professional cleaning. We can assist you in ensuring that your hearing aid is operating properly, and conduct checks on the performance, condition, and sound of your hearing aid. This may include, but is not limited to, the replacement of filters, domes, and receivers. Before making any alterations to the hearing aid setting, we must perform this check to identify any problems with the hearing aid.
  • Loan Aids Service: If we are unable to repair your hearing devices in-house, they will be sent in for repair. Your hearing aids 3 year warranty covers all repair costs. To ensure that you continue to enjoy your life without hearing aids, Hearing Buddy provides free loan aids and programs them to your existing settings.
  • Adjustments: This may entail reprogramming hearing aids to account for changes in hearing thresholds, recalibrating for feedback or changes in acoustics, and adding additional programs to meet current needs, among other things.
  • Ear Impressions: If new ear moulds are advised for improved fit, comfort, or amplification, impressions will be taken, and new moulds will be ordered in. As ear mould costs are covered only during the initial fit and include a 90-day warranty, depending on your timeframe, there may be additional costs associated with repairing/replacing existing or buying new ear moulds.
  • Revisit Cleaning & Maintenance: We recognise that it’s difficult to retain everything we learned at our fitting and follow-up appointments, and with time we often forget a few details or become complacent over time. We’re here to support you with your needs and to motivate you to continue learning.
